Its not my system. Its Champion datas. Its also now supercoach points.

Not joking. 5 points. Only players that get injured in the first 10 minutes finish with that score.

Agreed.  Ineffective kicks are a Spargo forte 

 
 

Bedford and Pickett all to come out of today. 

We are way off it, just a dismal performance.

27 points flatters us.

    How are the umpires still so blind? 
    the crowd noise means nothing

    Predicted it, probably all West Australians, it's the ones they haven't paid to us.

    absolutely

    The result in isolation is ok, but the performance was ****house. Anyway, it matters little at the moment.

    Yes but he wins the ball and has a crack, more than a lot of others

    Worst part of the 10 week break is that we have time to build up our hopes again.

    That allows the team to kill our hopes twice in one season.

    All of this.


    Great handball from Bedford and goal to Kozzie. Something to look forward to. 

    27 points, can already see Goodwin’s presser. “Had some great opportunities early to put scoreboard pressure on, they capitalised on a 5 minute lapse at the end of the first quarter, we weren’t efficient with out ball use. At the end of the day that last patch in the first quarter was the difference.”

    He won’t be asking for accountability, he won’t be honest that there are players that are just not doing enough. 

    FWIW Viney, Bedford, and Kozzie made that sh—show worth watching.

    @Lord Nev how's Simpson's 1 ruck idea going? Gawn getting smashed by Nik Nat AND Hickey. Making one of the best rucks in the game look like a simpleton.

    Geez imagine being the sort of person that, with everything going on, jumps on the internet to restart a footy argument.

     

    We need Yze to be coach, he has coached under the coach of the century. Goodwin is a Essendon reject a team that has done nothing for 20 years. We need Hawthorn's game plan not Essendon's.

    We are nowhere near being a contender I’m afraid. On the evidence of today - one game of course - we have not progressed at all. If anything we looked worse.
    Not  that it matters now.

    Our kicking is deplorable. 

    I have used that sentence for 15 years as my main gripe and nothing has been done to fix it.

    Didn't help today that about 14 of our players were pathetic.

    Not as bad as Hibberd.  

    There's more important stuff going round at the moment. Thst being said...

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
